It leaves at 11:00 am or so, I'll have to look.  I am checking a bag, so I'm not sure standby is an option.

You can still sign up even when you're checking a bag.  You might as well get in the queue while you can, especially if you're planning on getting there early anyway.

*On NWA's site, the stand-by option comes up when you do the online check-in.  When I did that, there was an option to sign up for standby, and all the possible flights came up.  Again, might be worth a try.

I spent the remainder of the evening watching Kon Ichikawa's FIRES ON THE PLAIN. Brutal, visceral, and unforgettable images on the horrors of being on the losing side of a war. Mostly beautiful transfer, too, though the audio level was pumped up so high, I thought my center speaker was going to explode before I could turn down the volume.

I really don't think I want to have a flight any earlier than that.  This way I can get up, get breakfast in the Cafe then check out and head to the airport

Ah, OK.  Well, then just leave the hotel by 9:15 and you should be fine.

I watched the special features on the disc, too: a video lecture by scholar DOnald Richie on the movie, and a featurette featuring the director and Billy Curtis who played a major supporting role in the film.

And since I will most likely not be up in time tomorrow morning...

And it was great getting to see you again and spend time with you this past week.  And mucho Thanks for Curtains!  Hopefully, you'll make it back in a few months to see the "frozen" product.

This evening DH and I went for a walk. But since it was dark, we didn't see anything.

DR Laura, did you get a glimpse of the lunar eclipse?

Too cloudy here to make out any of it at all.

Jose, it was a blast to see you too.  I have no idea when I'll be back. It all depends on how it goes starting my business, but I don't anticipate it will be this year.  You never know, but I'm not banking on it.

I'm heading downstairs now, too.

It's been an incredibly long week, and I need to crash.

Good night!

I remember seeing the moon. Maybe we missed the eclipse.

I guess if I was in that teen/twenty range with the angst etc I would have liked it more. I enjoyed most of the songs.  I can't say I'd go again.  Now the girl sitting next to me was there for the 45th time.  Of course she saw Urinetown 200 times and Wedding Singer 140 times, so...

How can anyone afford to go to that many shows?

I do admit I saw Urinetown 3 times, but that was because I was taking people to see it who I thought would like it. It was fun to see it with diifferent leads and compare.

What flavor?

Original (Vanilla), Chocolate, Banana, or those "limited time" flavors: Orange and Strawberry?

A lot of them do the ticket lotteries over and over again - so they're only spending about $20-22.00 per ticket.  However, I know some people who pay full-price over and over again.

When I was with the second national touring company of Mamma Mia!, they had a "Super Fan" who flew to each opening in each city it played for the first two years of the tour.  And she always paid her own way.  Now that I would call "obsessive".

Oh... I did see the Broadway production of Passion five times: twice in previews, once shortly after it opened, once a few months in, and then closing night.  So...  But some may consider that madness rather than obsession.

*And talk about a show that went through quite the transformation from the first preview to opening night!

I felt well enough to go on our outing with friends (it really was a 48 hour flu---exacty!). We went to a restored theatre about 1/2 hour north of Marietta. It has had a nice restoration job...not extraordinary but not embarrassing, either.

I went with a group of preservationist friends, including our architect, who has been invovled with a few theatre projects. Afterwards, we came back and watched the DVD that DR Cillaliz sent of the restoration of her theatre in Sioux City. They were salivating over what a fantastic job that was done there. Their only complaint was that they wish the show had been longer...they could have watched it for hours!

It was both inspiring and depressing, because we know that our theatre in Marietta will never achieve anywhere near the level of detail of restoration that we saw on the DVD. The owner doesn't even want to get the tax breaks of doing a proper restoration because he likes to put cheap, ugly finishes on his buildings and doesn't like people telling him what to do. And he's not even paying for any of it!

Their initial fundraising goal has been met, so it will be interesting to see where it goes from here. I would love to get involved with that project, but there's way too much baggage involved, so we will stay away...
